Jay Ricciardi, our former Associate Editor in charge of night and weekend coverage went and got himself promoted to Staff Editor and JTP Coordinator here at GameSkinny.
(I know, the nerve of some people.)
That devastating move left our night and weekends hopelessly bereft of editorial coverage, until Amanda Wallace was tapped as our newest Associate Editor in charge of weeknight coverage. Amanda joins our editorial team after participating in many phases of the Journalist Training Program, as well as being invited to join our freelance team and representing GameSkinny at PAX East 2014.
All well and good, but by my count, that means we still need one brave, talented, passionate soul who loves games as much as they love the Oxford Comma to guide writers toward greatness on the weekends.
